It may be messy, but over a longer time
horizon: truth prevails over lies, hope prevails over fear, and things that try to control us - fail.
The human condition demands it.

The antidote to fear is confidence. The etymology of which is "with trust/faith". Spot on with the rest. Cheers!
in my experience this is not true.
confidence is a byproduct of facing your fear with compassion and helping it to relax.
because once you get good at that you realize you actually are an alchemist who can transform his enemies into allies
- which is way more powerful than trying to overpower the fear with some forced confidence.
What is "forced confidence"?
💯
Freedom money and freedom tech are the way!

Things sure are getting dark out there.
It begins… now the fight is real, no longer a game. 
As long as humans desire flourishing this will be the case! Unfortunately the time scales are sometimes really long.
Pura vida!
Reminds me of the great investment wisdom "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
Amen!
Agree fully with this. Don't be fearful it's only change.
But what if the 'truth' can be changed on scales never seen before? AI and moderation somewhat does that convincingly. Of course the 'truth' doesn't change (ie sky is blue for someone who has never seen a sunset/sunrise) but truth is both fact and perception.
I agree tho that truth has always prevailed in the past.
But I def vote with my feet as i know you do!! #Bitcoin and #nostr all the way.
We are in the right place for truth and I'm happy to be here with y'all!!
It is the darkest moment just before the dawn.
humans can learn both through
A) increasing pain
or
B) increasing sensitivity to pain
embracing B) can make the time horizon way shorter and smoother
Love your optimism but if that "longer time horizon" exceeds my life and that of my children, I'd rather push to accelerate things in the right direction. Radically.

The law of the Universe. Truth is indestructible energy.
One would hope but I have yet to see it unfortunately. I think the human condition is to prefer comfort > truth at any time horizon.
see: Natural Selection
The human journey has always been a testament to resilience. Our history is marked with chaos, triumph, defeat, and redemption. This gives credence to the adage that truth, hope, and freedom are not mere concepts, but fundamental tenets of our existence.
The fact that "truth prevails over lies" hinges on our inherent desire for authenticity. People naturally gravitate towards truth because it forms the bedrock of trust and social cohesion. Over time, lies are unveiled and truth emerges, perhaps because reality has a knack for asserting itself, and humans have an innate propensity to seek it. The truth might be inconvenient, temporarily hidden or distorted, but its inherent magnetism means that over the long haul, it rises above the falsehoods.
When we say "hope prevails over fear," we acknowledge our species' unyielding optimism. Hope is the spark that drives progress, the light that guides us through the tunnel of uncertainty. Fear, on the other hand, is paralyzing and stifling. While fear might have a louder voice in the short term, it's hope that sings the longer, more enduring melody. This is because hope ties into our survival instinct, our drive to improve, and our vision for a better future.
As for the assertion that things that try to control us eventually fail, this is the manifestation of our inborn quest for freedom. The human spirit is fundamentally irrepressible. Any attempts to curtail it, whether by oppressive regimes or overbearing ideologies, can only prevail temporarily. Over time, this desire for freedom pushes back against the constraints, often leading to transformative societal changes.
In essence, these beliefs reflect our deep-seated faith in the human condition - a faith rooted in our collective experiences and instincts as a species. We've seen that the arc of the human story, while often circuitous and tumultuous, tends towards authenticity, optimism, and liberty. It may be messy, it may take time, but this progression seems almost hardwired into our very being.
His does AI and truth feed into this?
For the most part I agree with all the above that humans always gravitate towards truth, hope and freedom. Its within all we do and construct in society. But I do wonder if someone in north Korea would say the same
Or as Shakespeare would say "Truth will out"
But first as Ron Paul would say.... truth is tyranny in an empire of lies
